[applause] i want to hire new teachers, especially in math and science. i want to keep on making college more affordable. we just prevented congress from raising student loan interest rates, and we need to bring tuition down and give americans the chance to study at colleges for the jobs in the 21st century, because a higher education is not an economic luxury, it is an economic necessity, and i am committed to making sure that everybody gets that chance for the skills and the training they need to succeed. my vision says we ended the war in iraq as i promised and we are winding down the war in afghanistan. let's take half of that money we're saving in war and use it to pay down the deficit. let's take that money and start building broadband lines, wireless networks, and high- speed rail. let's invest in the basic science and research that helped to send a man to the moon and create the internet. that is what makes america great. we are innovators and risk takers. i believe in an america in which we control our own energy future, where we are producing mo

the oregon museum of science and arts, the museum of arts and sciences in georgia were all using highs on the solar system to let people see what was happening through the evening. we have report of 65 events using eyes. we are going to be replacing the trajectory with a reconstruction at some point in the future. once the team has had a chance to digest all this data. that could turn into a reconstructed trajectory and we will let you know when you can actually see the actual series of events. we are about one quad away from the actual landing site. i think quad 64. i do not know how interesting that this. we will put that in the new trajectory once we have it. there are still things you can find. there are still interesting things. we have people sending us their favorite things. we can cut to the live feed. one of our favorites was this one. it is the doughnut shop. people put the camera right behind the vehicle just before separation. you do not need to duck. do not worry. one guy had a triple wide desktop machine watching all of this landing. i will skip through a few of the thing
